Every now and then I like to let my creative juices flow freely on Photoshop. Well, GIMP to be completely honest. I'm a cheap ass.
I'm not one for doing anything overly specific, I just like to mess around with different things and see what works. I've been playing around with the Brain emoji in a few different styles over the past few days.
Here are some of the images that I've come up with. I've added small snippets below each one with a taste of the original image.
The last one got away from me, I'll admit. I was planning on making the brain drip into the mouth but ultimately ended up down a different path (clearly).
Nothing spectacular by any means, but they're just a bit of fun and I find the process of coming up with different versions to be somewhat challenging.
There is a point where you've got to hold yourself back from doing too much to an image.
Somebody told me of their experiences when teaching younger children how to paint a while ago, it may have been on Steemit actually. They told me that whenever they were letting the kids paint, the most important moment was when they decided to take the painting away.
Obviously, these are young kid's paintings and expectations should never be too high, but the tendency that kids have to go overboard when it comes to painting (or any mess in general) helps to illustrate the message.
I always think back to that story whenever I am messing around with images in this way; it's very easy to lose sight of the main focus.
